Local Summary:

GOLD IN ARKANSAS??

Snipped from Arkansas Geology Site:“the AnnualReport of the Arkansas Geological Survey for 1888 – Volume I. The conclusion was that no workable quantities of gold existed in the Ouachita Mountains region. In 1923, investigations by U. S. Geological Survey geologists in the vicinity of Hot Springs, Garland County, revealed sparse amounts of silver and gold in vein material associated with igneousdikes. In summary, no payable quantities of gold have been discovered in Arkansas.”

SILVER IN ARKANSAS?

“All significant silver mineralization in Arkansas is associated with hydrothermal lead-, zinc-, and copper-bearing quartz veins scattered throughout the Ouachita Mountain region. The deposits are present mostly in small fracture-filling quartz veins which formed in tightly folded sedimentary rock of Paleozoic age. The deposits are present in rocks ranging from the Collier Shale to the Jackfork Sandstone (Cambrian to Pennsylvanian). The silver is usually associated with galena (PbS) or sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S).

Prospecting of lead-, zinc-, copper-, and silver-bearing quartz veins occurred in the late 1800’s near the community of Silver in Montgomery County. Although no commercial mining took place, several tons of concentrates were processed for lead and silver as part of the exploration effort.
